The virus, experts are now concerned that the avian flu, including my own in many countries and regions have a long time. World Health Organization has recently announced an outbreak of bird flu in Egypt were reported. With the Influenza A H1N1 influenza pandemic, the body can easily become the new virus, "assembly plant." Avian influenza virus influenza A H1N1 influenza virus with the mixing, hybrid? Guan Yi said: "We do not know. But not because it is a low probability event, be regarded as not happen."

Guan Yi intuitively that from December 2009 to February 2010, coincided with Chinese New Year around the weather is cold, the use of poultry, large turnover, the avian flu virus in the environment, and stable, but so far have not heard of the domestic touching an infected bird cases of H5N1 reported, this is not a good thing.

Dr. Guan's research team found that: lead three times in the last century, the most serious pandemic influenza virus, before the advent of the disaster are close to complete in the form of communication for several years. 1918 H1N1 pandemic virus, today's seasonal H1N1 viruses and influenza A H1N1 virus may have already been together on the 1918-1919 inter-spread. Although these three kinds of different but related viruses. 1919 virus genes may be from 1911 onwards, in pigs and spread among humans, and that the virus can not spread directly from birds to people. The virus directly from birds to humans and cause a flu pandemic is very difficult, which may explain why the H5N1 virus has so far not caused a pandemic causes. 1957 H2N2 and 1968 H3N2 viruses have similar manner to form.

In the influenza issue, due to lack of continuous data since these periods, pigs with the pandemic virus, arising from such correlation can not be excluded. He suggested that China establish a special public relations group, very open way to explore the existing ecological environment in China, the virus the possibility of genetic recombination. He told reporters: "We should normally, conventional way to look at this issue, neither the disease Do not be afraid, do not conceal, otherwise, negative not only for the people, the State will be sapped."-snip-

Si-Dong Xiong pointed out that from a well-documented history of 2000 years of influenza, influenza pandemic did show some seasonal characteristics. Epidemic peaks occurred mainly in winter and spring, as the two seasons relatively dry air, ultraviolet weak environment for people living mostly closed for the virus to survive.However, air temperature, local micro-climate, and changes in the living environment of local people are likely to change the characteristics of influenza pandemic.In recent years, with the accelerated pace of globalization and air-conditioning and other facilities in the post-industrial age technology to improve people's living environment has become increasingly similar throughout the year, seasonal became blurred, as does the resultant gradient so that the virus of influenza throughout the year The onset of the rising trend.

From the time of seasonal influenza pandemic in an expanded view of the trend, in fact, belong to influenza A H1N1 flu seasonal influenza. In addition to seasonal influenza spread faster than the outside its current mortality and infection rates were still present close to the characteristics of seasonal influenza and seasonal influenza is not very clear boundaries. Proceeding from this, he reminded: In the past people think the summer is not a multiple of infectious diseases respiratory season now, with the influenza epidemic season changes, the 2010 Shanghai World Expo will be experienced in the summer should also be vigilant. "The world is all about influenza when it will happen, will have what kind of scale, as well as strains which have arisen in the monitoring system, but has never been accurately predict the number of years too. Like weather forecasting, as short-impending difficulties." He sighed Road.-snip-

Zhong Nanshan: Southern from February to June a high incidence of influenza, the most worried about human transmission of new variant of

New Express News (Reporter YIN GUO Xiao-yan CHEN Qi-tin Liuzheng Xu Cao Jingjing Liao Ying-yi) Yesterday, the National People's Congress, Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Zhong Nanshan, told reporters sounded "alarm bells": influenza in southern China is the high season of February to 6 months, there are other mutations found in H3N2 influenza viruses are most worried about mixing the virus to generate new variants.

Zhong Nanshan said that the recent two months, the mainland accounted for influenza A flow ratio gradually decrease, A flow of a pandemic "may not" happen.

He said that last year, Hong Kong and the Mainland, was found in pigs in a stream of individual variants, and some are also resistant to Tamiflu, even in the end of last year also found that individual H5N1 (avian influenza); the same time, in southern China, including Hong Kong, In the February to June for the influenza season, the medical estimates of the A stream that currently the predominant influenza outbreak is unlikely, but there may be other influenza viruses mix, so this time should not relax their vigilance.He said that although the show you will be seeing the virus variant does not pose any outbreak, but medical authorities most fear is the virus through the mixture to produce a new variant, with resistance, both human transmission characteristics, "This is the most afraid of.

4 March 2010

The Ministry of Health has reported three new confirmed cases of human infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus, including one fatality.

Two cases have been confirmed at the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE) and one case has been confirmed at the Pasteur Institute, Ho Chi Minh City.

The first case is a 3 year-old female residing in Ninh Hoa District, Khanh Hoa Province. She developed symptoms on 27 January 2010, and was hospitalized at Ninh Hoa district hospital on 28 January. She is recovering well. The source of exposure is currently under investigation. Her family raises chickens but did not report any mass poultry illness or death. However, Ninh Hoa District and Van Ninh District are currently being monitored because of recent H5N1 poultry outbreaks.

The second case was a 38 year-old female residing in Cai Be District, Tien Giang Province. She developed symptoms on 13 February 2010. The patient was admitted to the Sa Dec Hospital in Dong Thap Province on 21 February where she died on 23 February. An epidemiological investigation showed that the patient had slaughtered and processed sick water fowl.

The third case is a 17 year-old female residing in Son Duong District, Tuyen Quang Province. She developed symptoms on 19 February 2010 and was taken to the Son Duong District General Hospital on 24 February where she is currently being treated for mild breathing difficulties. Approximately, 10 days ago, there were unexplained deaths of chicken in the patient's household. She participated in the disposal of the dead poultry.

4 March 2010

The Ministry of Health of Egypt has announced five new cases of human H5N1 avian influenza infection.

The first case is a 53 year-old male from Shobra Elkhima district, Qaliobia Governorate. He developed symptoms on 27 February and was hospitalized on 27 February, where he received oseltamivir treatment. He is in a critical condition.

The second case is a 1 year-old male from Banha district, Qaliobia Governorate. He developed symptoms on 22 February and was hospitalized on 23 February, where he received oseltamivir treatment. He is in a stable condition.

The third case is a 10 year-old male from Meet Ghamr district, Dakalia Governorate. He developed symptoms on 10 February and was hospitalized on 14 February, where he received oseltamivir treatment. He is in a moderate condition.

The fourth case is a 30 year-old female from Kellin District, Kafr El-Sheik Governorate. She developed symptoms on 10 February and was hospitalized on 11 February, where she received oseltamivir treatment. She is in stable condition.

The fifth case is a 13 year-old male from Kafr El-Sheik District, Kafr El-Sheik Governorate. He developed symptoms on 10 February and was hospitalized on 14 February where he received oseltamivir treatment. He is in stable condition.

Investigations into the source of infection indicated that the five cases had exposure to sick and dead poultry.

The cases were confirmed by the Egyptian Central Public Health Laboratories, a National Influenza Center of the WHO Global Influenza Surveillance Network (GISN).

Of the 104 laboratory confirmed cases of Avian influenza A(H5N1) reported in Egypt, 30 have been fatal.

Hong Kong (HKSAR) - The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health today (March 4) called on members of the public to take precautionary measures against seasonal influenza. A CHP spokesman said the centre had been closely monitoring influenza activity. The latest surveillance data showed an apparent increase in seasonal influenza activity in the community.

The average consultation rate for influenza-like-illness (ILI) among sentinel private doctors rose from 42.8 per 1,000 consultations in the week ending February 20 to 55.1 in the week ending February 27. In the same period, the number of patients with fever/respiratory symptoms attending Designated Flu Clinics also increased from 410 to 704. The CHP recorded 28 ILI outbreaks in institutions affecting at least 154 persons in the first five days (February 28 - March 4) of the current week.

Influenza virus isolation in the CHP's Public Health Laboratory Centre (PHLC) also indicated a rise, the spokesman said. The PHLC recorded 85 influenza detections last week (February 21 to 27) compared with 44 influenza detections from February 14 to 20. Among the 85 influenza viruses isolated last week, the majority were influenza B virus (63.5%) while human swine influenza (HSI) virus accounted for 22.4% and influenza A (H3N2) virus about 1% of all isolates.

The currently used seasonal influenza vaccine for the 2009-2010 northern hemisphere influenza season is expected to confer certain cross protection against this influenza B virus. The winter influenza season in Hong Kong usually occurs during February and March. "More data over the coming one to two weeks will be needed to show more definitively that Hong Kong is entering the winter influenza season.

We will closely monitor the situation," the spokesman said. He added that as a preventive measure, the CHP will send letters to doctors, schools and institutions alerting them to the current influenza situation and provide advice on prevention and control. The spokesman reminded members of the public to take the following measures to prevent influenza and other respiratory illnesses: *Build up good body immunity by having a proper diet, regular exercise and adequate rest, reducing stress and avoiding smoking; *Maintain good personal and environmental hygiene; *Wash hands after sneezing, coughing or cleaning the nose; *Maintain good ventilation; and *Avoid visiting crowded places with poor ventilation.

People, particularly young children, elderly people and those with chronic diseases, should wear face masks and consult doctors for medical advice promptly if they develop influenza-like symptoms.

About 20 cases of mutation of the H1N1 influenza virus resistant to the antiviral oseltamivir, as detected in Mexico, have also been staged in other countries and are likely being reported here, warned the Health Ministry (SSA). Thus the importance of the vaccine, said the head of the agency, Jose Angel Cordova Villalobos.

Undersecretary for Prevention and Health Promotion, Mauricio Hernandez Avila, said that although the resistance of the virus was found only in one patient, one should not underestimate the problem. He said the daughter, aged 10, acquired the flu and was complicated to the degree that she was in intensive care.

For that reason entered the system of epidemiological surveillance for resistance. He took samples of the strain were sent to the laboratory for genetic sequencing. That mutation was detected at position H274Y neuraminidase gene.

Hernandez explained that the Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis and Reference (Indre) virus genetic studies of cases of patients suffering serious complications and probabilistic methods other strains are selected for analysis.

Cordova said that of the 423 samples suspected to contain a mutation, information obtained from the girl is the first in which is located to the antiviral resistance, equivalent to 0.25 percent.

The secretary also stressed the importance of continuing the implementation of the A/H1N1 virus vaccine, which until last Friday had given 6 million 700 thousand doses. He stressed that the biological virus protection even if it is resistant to drugs.

The SSA estimates that between April and May next will have implemented 20million doses. The strategy will continue throughout the year and some antigens are reserved for pregnant women.

On Tuesday, the agency reported the first case of resistance of influenza, a girl who was admitted on January 4 Pediatric Hospital La Villa, for mild respiratory distress syndrome, malnutrition grade I and bronchiolitis. She was discharged after showing satisfactory progress smoothly.

At 10 days, was admitted to Hospital Infantil de Mexico Federico Gomez diagnosed with severe pneumonia, malnutrition of moderate intensity and influenza-like illness. Once the evil was controlled, moved to La Villa Pedriártico to continue his treatment, where he was discharged on Feb. 3.

The government of South Korea said Tuesday it will increase inspection of any travelers from Vietnam in response to deaths in Vietnam from H5N1 avian influenza. Tourists and others who travel from Vietnam into South Korea will be subject to mandatory temperature checks to detect fever. South Koreans visiting Vietnam are being asked to stay away from any chickens or other poultry. The government said the moves were triggered by the death last week of a 38-year-old Vietnamese woman, that country’s first H5N1-related fatality and second case in 2010.

Morning report his words led Du Guangzhou East Company, Deputy Director of Veterinary and Animal Management in Guangdong, confirmed the outbreak is located in Hoang Kim Vi District Baiyun (Guangzhou). From the date of 22-2 so far 1474 children have infected pigs in the region, authorities ordered the destruction of power nearly 8400 live hog spreads rapidly to room service.

Guangzhou scene projection television series dead pigs were thrown down the canal, drifting across the medical command area Hoang Kim Vi. This situation raises concerns the pigs will be born putrefaction disease cholera and contaminated water sources in the region.Ministry of Agriculture of China has also promote the injection vaccines to prevent outbreaks of animal diseases, including avian flu and blue ear pig progress.

Mr. Cao Hong Tan, Vice Minister of Agriculture of China, stressed China will face challenges and enormous difficulties in their work to prevent disease in livestock, because of this disease are signs of di from north to south.

Affected areas have been decontaminated and poultry incinerated, said a spokesperson from the provincial Animal Health Unit.

The latest outbreak has brought the number of provinces affected by the flu to six: Dien Bien, Nam Dinh, Nghe An, Khanh Hoa, Soc Trang and Ca Mau, said Hoang Van Nam from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

The bird flu epidemic has continued to spread in these provinces, killing thousands of poultry since it re-emerged last December despite efforts to prevent contagion.

Last December, nearly 6,000 birds were contaminated with A/H5N1 in southernmost Ca Mau Province alone. Infections spread to two more communes of the province this week, causing 600 affected birds to be culled and raising the total number of affected communes to ten.

There is a high risk of the flu spreading to other localities, especially in the Mekong Delta region as ducks migrated during harvest time, said Nam.

The ministry urged the provinces to increase efforts to combat and prevent the spread of the flu, and ensure more monitoring of transportation and poultry slaughterhouses, he added.

The province's poultry flocks would continue to be vaccinated although it was necessary for households to co-operate with authorities to inform them about their poultry stocks to ensure timely vaccinations

Over the last two weeks, three people from the provinces of Tuyen Quang in the north, Tien Giangin the south and Khanh Hoa in the central were diagnosed with A/H5N1. One of the infected, a 38-year-old woman from Tien Giang Province, died from the flu. — VNS

Updated at: 1:06 PM, March 3, 2010When someone asks to buy chickens in a market traders Dam just given the paper certificate vaccination services originating in the right "navel service" as "security context" can sell the chickens are easy!

The province of Khanh Hoa have someone infected cum A (H5N1), so the risk of someone infected poultry is very high.Khanh Hoa provincial People's Committee has recommended that people should not eat poultry. However, poultry is sold publicly display and a chicken of unknown origin is still sold openly in markets across the province.

Dam market in the city of Nha Trang (the largest market Khanh Hoa), purchase live poultry still occur normally.

Some traders said the chickens were purchased in Ninh Hoa and proof of origin by introducing us to see a paper certified vaccination vaccine for Avian Influenza vets town. Content of the certificate is recorded the number of vaccinated chickens of avian influenza in the second month in October 2009, the number of 170 children, the origin is at ... Ninh Hoa district, which are translated flu spread. This person added that, when the buyer asked to buy chickens and sell their chickens to demonstrate a "safe," she just made the above paper certificates as "security context" can sell the chickens are easy!

The member the Team of the Handling of the Illness and the Khusus RSHS Infection, Primal Sujana, stressed, was based on results of the diagnosis, in fact, Sela died not resulting from bird flu. "Sela not suspect bird flu. He died because of the common illness", stressed Primal, on Wednesday (3/3).

Explained, was based on the medical note, initially, Sela experienced hot was high enough and was accompanied by the cough. Moreover, his body was then limp. Increasingly the day, his condition was increasingly weak. Hot him then rose. Said, the death news of the female child aged the year was startling enough. His article, his rumours, the child of the two couple Asep and Elis infected bird flu. Indeed, continued he, Sela showed the sign that had the resemblance with bird flu. The temperature of his body, said Primal, high. Afterwards, was followed by coughs. His body was then limp.

According to Helmi, initial examination which had been done by lung specialist to the four patients did not show any signs pointing to bird flu infection, and patients had left the hospital – by own request – before laboratory confirmation issued.

Even though, the Livestock Service will continue observation to patients and family until the end of incubation period.

Wednesday, March 3, 2010 8:44(CAO) on the afternoon of March 2, 2010, Dr. Le Tuan Phung, Chief-Medical Profession, Khanh Hoa Department of Health said: Currently in Van Ninh district has three patients treated with millions Stock suspected influenza A/H5N1 infection.

Samples of three patients with four samples of 4 cases of product exposure to poultry infected with influenza A/H5N1 is being sent for examination at the Pasteur Institute of Nha Trang and are awaiting results. By the time point, Khanh Hoa provincial People's Committee has officially recognized the avian influenza H5N1 in the province two Van Ninh and Ninh Hoa districts.

After translation flu outbreak, Chi Khanh Hoa Department of Animal Health have carried pepper spray drug alone, eliminate secondary outbreaks in just one time. More local as well as initiate epidemiological surveys, statistics and increase the total poultry disease surveillance in the whole province. However, control birds in the province of Khanh Hoa met many difficulties.

Mr. Cao Anh Tuan, Director Chi Chi Department of Animal Health (SDAH) Khanh Hoa said, the translation appears on a large scale flu, SDAH coordinated with functional agencies to quickly deploy anti-progress, the province also Committee established to monitor progress against the disease situation in the province. However, due to slim forces should control still having difficulties. Currently, the key set of quarantine in the province has not been implemented. In this regard, Mr. Tuan "commitment" is the key to the establishment of quarantine soon

Previous risk disease can be spread over large, Khanh Hoa provincial government has advised people not to eat poultry unknown origin. However, what we recorded was at Dam market, New Market Group (City-Nha Trang), the types of birds unknown origin is still sold openly.

JAKARTA - Minister of Health (Minister) RI, Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih, said the country's defense and security of Indonesia grew stronger. Not only against physical attacks, now Indonesia has had a defense against biological weapons attacks. It was mentioned by Minister of Health on the sidelines of the inauguration of the Bio Lab Building Safety Level 3 (BSL 3) located on Jl Percetakan Negara 23, Jakarta Pusat.

BSL 3, said Minister of Health, has an important role to counter the growing infectious disease in the community. "Infectious disease potential biological weapons," he told reporters, Monday (1 / 3).

New infectious diseases, emerging and re-emerging or abbreviated PINERE, may cause unrest in society. This is because, PINERE can spread quickly, both across regions and across countries.

This laboratory, is the largest laboratory in Indonesia. Consists of four independent compartments BSL 3. Minister said, this building is the realization of responsibility in entering the era of globalization.

In the future, said Minister of Health, the laboratory will work with similar laboratories owned by the education centers in the region. Not just that, his department will hold researchers from abroad. ''But we prioritize researchers from the country, "he said.

Head of Research and Development, Ministry of Health (Balitbangkes Kemenkes), Agus Purwandianto, say, the existence of this laboratory, the diagnosis of the disease can be done quickly. "This lab is a national reference laboratory," he said.

With modern laboratory facilities, the government can meet the health service to the community in the region. He explained, according to the standard World Health Organization (WHO), UN World Health Organization, there are four levels of disease risk.

Agus gave an example, avian influenza or commonly known as bird flu, a disease with a risk level 3. In the same occasion, Minister hoped that the facilities of this laboratory, medical researchers in Indonesia can be known world.

He said the international standards to be able to publish the results of one study is site of the research. "The research must be done in BSL 3," he said.

Toggletext:Jakarta -- the Health Minister (Menkes) RI, Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih, said at this time Indonesian defence and security was increasingly strong. Not only towards the physical attack, currently Indonesia has the defence towards the biological weapon attack. That was sent by Menkes in appointment gaps of the Laboratorium Bio Safety Level Building 3 (BSL 3) that was located in Street Percetakan Negara 23, Jakarta Pusat. BSL 3, said Menkes, had the role important to ward off the existence of infectious diseases that developed in the community. "Potential infectious diseases became the biological weapon," he said to the reporter, on Monday (1/3).

The infection new-emerging and re-emerging or that was shortened by PINERE, could cause the unrest in the community. That was caused, PINERE could spread in a fast manner, both the territory passage and the country's passage. This laboratory, was the biggest laboratory in Indonesia. Consisted of four independent BSL compartments 3. Menkes said, the development of this building was the realisation of responsibility in entered the globalisation era. In the future, said Menkes, the laboratory will co-operate with the similar laboratory that was owned by the centres of education in the area. As if that wasn't enough, his side will also take the researcher from overseas by the hand. But was given priority to by us the researcher from inside the country, he said. The head of the Penelitian Dan Pengembangan Kesehatan Body of the Ministry of the Health (Balitbangkes Kemenkes), Agus Purwandianto, said, with the existence of this laboratory, the diagnosis could be towards the illness carried out quickly. "This laboratory was the national reconciliation laboratory," he said.

With modern laboratory facilities, the government could fill the health service to the community in the area. He explained, according to the World Health Organization standard (WHO), the Kesehatan Body of the UN World, was gotten by four levels of the risk of the illness. Agus gave an example, avian influenza or that more was known with bird flu, to be the illness with the level of the risk 3. In the same opportunity, Menkes hoped with the existence of these laboratory facilities, the health researcher could be in Indonesia known the world. He said, the international standard to be able to publish results of the research one of them was the place of the holding of the research. The "place" of "his research must be done in BSL 3," he stressed.

The second is in the province of Tuyen Quang. This is a patient woman, 17 years old, residing in New Social Movement, Son Duong district, Tuyen Quang.

On February 27, 2010, Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology central test results positive for influenza A/H5N1 virus.According to epidemiological survey, about 10 days ago in a patient with sick chickens occur / death unknown causes, patients with sick chickens involved destruction / death of the family.

Thus, from early 2010 until now, the country has recorded 03 cases positive for influenza A/H5N1 in humans, including 01 deaths.

(VnMedia) - On third, Department of Preventive Health and Environment (Ministry of Health) has announced about two cases positive for influenza A/H5N1.

The first case is a female patients, 3 years old, residing in Ninh Than, Ninh Hoa district, Khanh Hoa, onset symptoms of the disease on January 27, 2010 with 39 degrees C fever, cough, runny nose . On January 28, 2010, the patient was taken to hospital Ninh Hoa district medical and diagnostic Acute upper respiratory tract. On February 12, 2010, test results at the Pasteur Institute of Nha Trang positive for influenza A/H5N1. Current status of your child's health was restored.

Epidemiological survey showed that families of patients who do not have the same illness, no poultry sick / dead. But nearly a month ago, at the ostrich farm (the patient's home near 1 km) with ostrich phenomenon unexplained death.

The second 17-year-old female patient, in the New Movement, Son Duong district, Tuyen Quang, start patients on 19 2 with symptoms of fever 38.9 degrees C, cough, sore throat. 24 / 2, patients treated with Tamiflu as the treatment regimen for suspected ca influenza A/H5N1 in general hospitals Son Duong district, Tuyen Quang.

Currently, patients with mild difficulty breathing, not breathing machine, image lung xrays going well and is being managed, treated in general hospitals Son Duong district.

Reportedly, about 10 days ago in a patient with sick chickens occur / death unknown causes, patients participate in the destruction of the family killed chickens.

Thus, from early 2010 until now, the country has received three consecutive suspected cases positive for influenza A/H5N1 in humans, including the first deaths.

Notified by the Department of Animal Health (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), the country is still eight provinces where bird flu is not over 21 days of Nghe An, Ca Mau, Dien Bien, Soc Trang, Kon Tum, Quang Tri and Nam Dinh, Khanh Hoa.

First situation, the Department of Preventive Health and Environment recommends people continue to perform well as a number of measures. When finding birds sick or dead absolutely not slaughter and use that to inform immediately to local authorities handled promptly; Air transport, trade in poultry unknown origin, especially in areas where the bird flu outbreak, ensuring cooked food, drink boiling; wash hands with soap room before eating and after using the toilet; When symptoms of fever, cough, shortness of breath related to avian influenza should immediately nearest medical facility for examination and treatment in time.

Previously, on 26 / 2, Ministry of Health confirmed the first case of death in 2010 by avian influenza H5N1 infection.

About two new cases, the Department of Preventive Health and Environment (Ministry of Health), including two patients (one in Khanh Hoa, Tuyen Quang in a) are related directly / indirectly to sick birds / dead with no known cause.

In Vietnam, this is the case of little H5N1 infection but still pull through. In 2008, there are five cases of influenza, all five were fatal.
